Linking articles to your D2L courseWhenever possible, link to library-licensed content within your D2L course rather that adding the content as a PDF or through copy/paste. This ensures that the journal article is being accessed and used lawfully.
For instructions on how to add library database links to your D2L course, see into at the bottom of this page.
Library-owned and personal copies of books and multimedia items may be placed on reserve at the Circulation Desk.
The library will purchase textbooks or course readings by faculty request to be placed on reserve at the Circulation Desk.
To put materials on course reserve, or request the library purchase textbooks or course readings, please complete the Faculty Course Reserve Request Form.
Some assigned texts may be available for the Libraries to purchase as e-books for the entire class to access. To make a request, contact your liaison librarian with the book information and need-by date.
It is important to note that the following major publishers do not provide institutional licenses to e-books and thus cannot be purchased for students to access via the Libraries:
Sometimes course packets contain journal articles and book chapters that students have free access to via the library's subscriptions to online databases and e-book collections. Instead of going through a printing company that will charge for copyright clearance, consider using library databases to link to your assigned readings in D2L.
The D2L "Insert QuickLink" function breaks some Library links. Instead, use the "Insert Stuff" button to add links to your D2L content.
Many of the NEIU Libraries' most frequently used databases, journals, and ebooks are provided by EBSCO. If you want to create a D2L link to an article or ebook in an EBSCO database, follow these steps.
